Captain Dave Amsterdam pioneered early morning cruises in Amsterdam several years ago. These cruises set sail early, when the canals are serene and peaceful, offering the perfect opportunity for a leisurely cruise and stunning photographs.
In contrast to typical tours with predetermined routes and scripted commentary, our cruises are engaging, informative, and enjoyable. Each tour is unique. We begin our journey along the iconic Canal Ring (a UNESCO World Heritage site) and allow the city to lead the way.
